Function spaces from core compact coherent spaces to continuous B-domains

It is proved in this paper that for a continuous B-domain L, the function space [X→L] is continuous for each core compact and coherent space X. Further, applications are given. It is proved that:

(1)

the function space from the unit interval to any bifinite domain which is not an L-domain is not Lawson compact;

(2)

the Isbell and Scott topologies on [X→L] agree for each continuous B-domain L and core compact coherent space X.
